Birthdays and Trips Gratitude: #71-90

As part of my "30 things to do before 30" list, I'm keeping a running list of everyday things I am grateful for.  It helps me be more fully aware of the daily gifts that God gives, and all the sacred moments in a normal day.  Inspired by Ann Voskamp's 1,000 gifts project and my friend Kit.

72. Pancakes for breakfast
73. Husband home safe
74. Lingering breakfast with an old, dear friend

77. Meeting other songwriters
78. Middle-of-the-night rocking to sleep
